The 0917162008 by Molex revolutionizes Rectangular Connectors - Free Hanging, Panel Mount technology, specifically engineered for next-generation data center infrastructure. This high-speed interconnect solution delivers unparalleled signal integrity for 400G Ethernet and PCIe Gen5 applications, featuring impedance-controlled design and advanced crosstalk mitigation.As a Receptacle solution, it incorporates air-flow optimized housing for improved thermal management. The unique lattice structure reduces airflow restriction while maintaining structural integrity in high-density server configurations.The Outer Shroud Contact design utilizes elliptical beam geometry that reduces insertion force by 40% compared to conventional designs. The multi-point contact system ensures stable impedance across the entire mating interface.Available in 7 configurations, this modular system supports flexible lane partitioning for various protocol requirements. The symmetrical contact arrangement enables bi-directional signal routing without performance degradation.The 0.098" (2.50mm) micro-pitch configuration enables 112G PAM4 signaling with minimal insertion loss. The precision-molded dielectric material maintains consistent characteristic impedance across the entire connector length.The 1 row architecture incorporates ground shields between each differential pair. This arrangement provides 30dB better near-end crosstalk performance than conventional designs.The Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle version features tool-less PCB retention for quick serviceability. The integrated alignment pins ensure accurate mating during blind-mate cabinet installations.Featuring IDC technology, the system maintains return loss below -30dB up to 28GHz. The controlled-impedance transition region minimizes signal reflection at the cable-connector interface.Compatible with Discrete twinax cables, the contacts preserve the cable's differential impedance within 5% tolerance. The strain relief system accommodates up to 10N/mm cable bending stress.Supporting 22-24 AWG coaxial configurations, the contacts exhibit less than 0.2dB insertion loss per contact at 28GHz. The precision crimp profile maintains consistent RF performance across all terminations.The Position 6 Not Loaded include integrated heat sinks for power contact cooling. These thermal management features enable continuous current carrying capacity up to 15A per contact.The Tin plating exceeds IEC 60512-99-001 fretting corrosion requirements. The selective gold plating on contact points reduces material costs without compromising performance.The Natural housing material incorporates 30% glass fiber reinforcement for dimensional stability. The high-temperature resistant polymer maintains mechanical properties up to 150 C.
